Freemium vs Free trial
Freemium
Pros:
● More visitor to ‘trial’ conversions
● Higher virality
● More product data to optimize UX
● Paid users who convert from free tend to
better retention, and much lower CAC1
Cons:
● Limited features could result in a
inferior experience
● Lower sense of urgency
● Higher cost to service
1A16z
Free Trial
Cons:
● Less virality and buzz
● Requires more effort and time
commitment on the user
Pros:
● Sense of urgency
● Full feature set, most optimal UX
● More effort in a short timeframe, higher
likelihood of conversion if UX is optimal
The challenge
Delivering on the promise of your business (aha moment) as fast as possible
